Plans pour le patineur professionnel de Tony Hawk 3 + 4 Les remasters ont été supprimés après que les visions indirectes aient été absorbées par Blizzard

Fans of the Birdman (that’s Tony Hawk) got quite the shock earlier this year in April when it was revealed the THPS developer Vicarious Visions had been absorbed by Blizzard Entertainment.

Concerns were raised about the future of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series at the time, and if remasters of the third and fourth game would ever see the light of day. Malheureusement, Tony Hawk has now confirmed they’re likely not happening.

Speaking on a Twitch stream recently (andyTHPS), Tony shared an upfront statement about the current situation:

“I wish I could say we had something in the works, but you know Vicarious Visions kind of got disbanded and Activision’s going through all their stuff, so I don’t know what’s next…”

When asked about Pro Skater 3 + 4 remasters, dit-il:

“je veux dire, that was the plan, even up until the release date of this [Patineur professionnel Tony Hawk 1 + 2] we were going 3 et 4, and then Vicarious got kind of absorbed and they were looking for other developers and then it was over.”

Tony briefly elaborated on this, when asked about Activision’s “faith” in the future of the series:

“The truth of it is, elles ou ils [Activision] were trying to find someone to do 3 + 4, but they just didn’t really trust anyone the way they did Vicarious, so they took other pitches from other studios, comme “what would you do with the THPS title” and they didn’t like anything they heard, and that was it.”

Tony still hopes that the series could return, but it’s probably best not to expect any related announcements in the near future.

After being merged into Blizzard, Vicarious Visions worked on Diablo II: Ressuscité, released last September. Quand Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 finally made its debut on the Nintendo Switch last June, we praised it – labelling it a rock-solid Switch port and awarding it an “excellent” neuf étoiles sur dix.
